We were shocked to receive a call in the afternoon from Plumtree saying that my mum had collapsed. We rushed to Plumtree but when we got there
VID officials directed my uncles to check for her body at a mortuary,” said Lisa.
She said her mother was in good health on the day she left for Plumtree.
Mrs Sibanda’s family went to Plumtree yesterday to collect the body and the family will make funeral arrangements later.
